Chapter 246 Beacon Fire March (8) - Capture the King
"Sit. Choi Tae-won smiled and gestured to Jung Hoon-tuo.
"President, I'm ......" Zheng Xuntuo looked back at the gate uneasily, Jin Zhongming had already gone out just now, and now he should be waiting for him at the prison gate. "I'm sorry......"
"What is there to be sorry for?" replied Choi Tae-won with a smile. "You're doing well, come and sit down. ”
Zheng Xuntuo sat weakly in front of Kim Jong-myeong, and then as soon as he sat down, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he hadn't seen Choi Tae-won before, but at that time he was watching from a distance, so he didn't have any direct impression, and it wasn't until this moment that he realized that even if he was smiling and sitting there, he looked like a lion.
"President, I shouldn't have rushed into war with him without investigating clearly......" Under the authority, Zheng Xuntuo immediately cheered up and started to review.
"I said it!" Choi Tae-won continued to laugh, but his tone was already stern. "You're doing the right thing!"
"Yes!"
"Don't say you don't know, even if you know he's rich, you should do the same thing as before! You don't have any problem at all, whether it's finding out that someone has violated our interests and immediately starting to fight back, or later taking on the responsibility of the camp leader, these things are all fine! You are doing a good job, and you have the kind of domineering attitude that we have in SK Group! If you want to gain the respect and fear of others in this kind of mall, you have to do it! I! SK President Choi Tae-won, I appreciate you very much! I'll repeat, you've done a great job!"
Zheng Xuntuo's tears of emotion have already fallen, and the previous panic and distraction have been swept away.
"Then again. Choi Tae-won smiled and handed over a handkerchief. "Do you know why I agreed to sacrifice you SidusHQ?"
Zheng Xuntuo wiped away his tears and quickly replied: "That's because business is business, he has something beneficial to our group, if he doesn't agree to your proposal, then you will definitely send off a guest, but if he agrees, then our SidusHQ is part of the business." ”
"You're pretty much right. Choi Tae-won said with a smile. "But there's one thing wrong. I didn't propose this business, he proposed it. I ask you, do you think SidusHQ was targeted by him by accident this time, or why didn't he come to me in the first place?"
Zheng Xuntuo is a smart person, and he immediately understood: "You mean, since we SidusHQ are the leaders in the industry, he set his goal on us from the beginning. Regardless of whether I come out as a leader or not, he will eventually come to you to talk about it, and then it will still deter the whole industry? And in order to achieve the best deterrent effect, he will let my previous actions go on, let the whole process be repeated, and let everyone put their confidence in me......"
Zheng Xuntuo couldn't go on, it wasn't a good feeling to be treated as a monkey.
"That's right. Choi Tae-won sneered. "That's what it means, I appreciate you more now, you're much better than the old men outside. At least after suffering a loss, you know how to reflect on how you suffered a loss. I had a relationship with Kim Jong-myeong, and our SK is actually the biggest one in the industry, so he should have been ready to follow my path from the beginning to take SidusHQ Liwei, but your appearance and Ahn Cheol-so's jumping will make the final effect a little better. ”
After a pause, Choi Tae-won changed his tone and continued: "Xun Tuo, what you just said is very good, business is business. I, Chey Tae-won, am the chairman of the group, and I have to look at the whole business from the perspective of SK as a whole. In the situation we just had, there was nothing he could do about us in exchange for the dignity of SidusHQ. Because we're talking about the strategic stuff of SK as a whole, we really can't think too much about the details in that area. Of course, you don't have to worry too much, he just said for a long time, and there is a very correct sentence that we at SK Group don't need to raise the issue of face in Korea! You just took over as president, right? And you are so young. Do a good job, SidusHQ has SK behind it, and the dignity will be taken back sooner or later. ”
"Yes!" When he heard the three words of doing a good job, Zheng Xuntuo was already standing straight.
"Well, remember that business is business as you just said, and since we have reached a deal, we must talk about credibility. Doesn't he want SidusHQ's dignity to be a stepping stone? Doesn't he want to show his authority by slapping you in the face? Then go out and stand up straight and let people slap your face, if the left side of the face is fanned, then you must turn your head and seriously ask people if they want to slap the right cheek, and if you are beaten, you are not allowed to turn your head sideways!" "Now go out, take my word to heart, and let the old fellows at the door get in. ”
Kim Jong Ming didn't know that there was such a good scene in the prison again, he was gossiping with a few directors of SK, a few tall, short and thin old men seemed to be very interested in the weather, and it was a coincidence that Kim Jong Ming happened to be very interested in this thing, so several people talked all the way from the sun overhead to the frog cry in the distance.
All in all, it was a great atmosphere!
But the good times didn't last long, and after a while, Zheng Xuntuo looked serious, uh, walked out with red eyes, and then invited the directors who were chatting to go in. At this moment, the reporters no longer had any scruples, and they rushed up and blocked the two people at the gate of the prison.
"Mr. Kim Jong-myung and Mr. Jung Hoon-tuo, are you two here to ask Chairman Chey Tae-won to mediate the labor dispute of this entertainment artist?" These reporters are estimated to stay here often, and the relationship is already very close, obviously people from different media have a clear division of labor, and the oldest one here is the one who holds the microphone to ask questions.
"Ah, that's right. Jin Zhongming stood upright, then tied his hands and nodded slightly at the other party. "I have been asked by the Korea Artists Mutual Aid Committee to convey the common attitude of Mr. Ahn Sung-ki, Professor Ahn Cheol-so, attorney Park Won-soon, and many other fellow artists to Chairman Choi of SK Group, the parent company of SidusHQ, Korea's largest artist agency. ”
"And what was the result?"
"It was smooth and the communication was very smooth. Jin Zhongming replied with his head tilted slightly. "Chairman Choi was shocked to hear my story, he was very puzzled by the existence of such widespread infringements in the entertainment industry, he fully agreed with the original intention and efforts of our committee, and he also persuaded and guided some of SidusHQ's actions. There is now reason to believe that SidusHQ will change its previous tough stance and move to deep and thorough cooperation with our committee. ”
"......" was stunned for a while. The reporter closed his mouth wide open, and then turned the microphone to Zheng Xuntuo.
"That's right. Although Zheng Xuntuo also stood straight, his head did bow slightly. "We at SidusHQ have always been operating artist contracts according to the usual practices in the circle, and there are obviously some acts that ignore the rights of artists, and I am very sorry for this. However, thanks to the reminder of the Korean Artists Rights Mutual Aid Committee, and also thanks to the guidance of Ahn Sung-ki's predecessors, Professor Ahn Cheol-so, and lawyer Park Won-soon. Thanks to the education of Mr. Kim Jong-myung and Chairman Chey Tae-won, I, as the president of the company, have fully realized my previous mistakes. In this regard, I would like to make a clear guarantee that this part of SidusHQ's artist-run company will be the first artist-run company in Korea to adopt the model contract provided by the Artist's Mutual Aid Committee. In this regard, please supervise and correct. ”
"Hey~, that, Mr. Jin Zhongming, what do you think of SidusHQ's statement?"
"Of course it's very much appreciated. Jin Zhongming nodded. "SidusHQ is currently recognized as a leading brokerage firm in South Korea. We are very welcome and gratified to be able to realize that we have lost our way and take the initiative to participate in the movement to defend the rights of artists. However, I am more expecting President Zheng to quickly take concrete actions to prove what he just said. ”
This veteran reporter already feels that his brain is not enough, even if he is willing to change his attitude, is your condescending attitude appropriate?
"What Vice Chairman Kim said is very reasonable, and it is always uneasy to feel uneasy if you don't take practical actions. Zheng Xuntuo made a very sincere commitment to the microphone. "Our company will start communicating with its artists from now on, and will take the initiative to adopt new contracts tomorrow night, and there will be a public signing ceremony for new contracts, and all unexpired signed artists will try to change to new contracts tomorrow night. When the time comes. We will ask the Committee of Anshengji and ......"
Speaking of this, Zheng Xuntuo turned his head to look at Jin Zhongming.
"I'm not going. Jin Zhongming waved his hand. "I asked the teacher. If he's busy, I'll go again. ”
"That's good. Zheng Xuntuo looked like he was looking forward to the golden bell inscription. "At that time, we will hold a ceremony to accept the model contract provided by the committee, and we welcome friends from the media to witness with us!
"It's gone. Jin Zhongming glanced at him and said. "Thank you. ”
"Thank you. Zheng Xuntuo bowed slightly.
After that, the two threw down a few stunned reporters and got into Zheng Xuntuo's BMW together, and the driver immediately started. The car disappeared into the main road between the prison and the barracks.
"Dafa!" The old reporter looked at the direction in which the car disappeared and slowly put down the microphone in his hand. "This news is worth it, let's quickly divide the photos and copy the recording, and then go back, we don't have to wait here until it gets dark today." ”
"It's a pity I didn't bring a camera......"
"Be content, you!" the old reporter complained speechlessly.
The BMW was extremely quiet, and the two people in the back did not speak. The driver in front didn't dare to talk more, and soon the car came to the army pot street, and the speed of the car naturally became slow.
"It is said that the troop pot is stewed from expired meat dishes thrown out by the US military, and now looking at this street is really telling. Maybe he felt that the atmosphere was too dull, and Zheng Xuntuo, who thought of Choi Tae-won's explanation, spoke helplessly. "The big market on the other side of the street is actually a former U.S. military barracks. ”
"Oh!" Jin Zhongming replied perfunctorily, and then glanced at it, but his eyes were attracted by something at the end of the street of the army's pot, which was a violin in a person's hand.
"This street is the only attraction in Uigoku. Zheng Xuntuo noticed the other party's gaze, so he explained. "So there are often people who say that they are vagabonds, who say that they are not vagabonds, who say that they are artists who are not artists, come to perform and beg by the way. ”
"Oh!" After answering again, Jin Zhongming's heart moved slightly. "Stop at the street in front, I'll take the city railway, you can go back by yourself." ”
Zheng Xuntuo glanced at the other party puzzled, but he didn't have any reason to object.
The BMW car left directly, and Jin Zhongming walked in front of this 'artist' leisurely, this is an image that is indeed quite clean, and it should be an 'artist' who can make money and find a place to live, and Jin Zhongming can also hear that this person's violin level is indeed very good. And at this time, the people on the street have also noticed Jin Zhongming.
"Mr. Jin Zhongming. It was a bearded man who noticed the tall man approaching and called out the name with a grin.
"Do you know me?" asked Jin Zhongming curiously.
The bearded man smiled and stretched out his hand and swayed it from side to side: "The proprietors of the two army pot shops on the left and right are all fans of "Two Days and One Night", and I stand here every day and follow them to become your fan." ”
"That's an honor. Jin Zhongming said with a smile. "Your violin is very good. ”
"Thank you for the compliment. You want to try it, don't you? I know the look in your eyes, I know what you're going to do. The bearded man smiled and handed over the violin. "You're trying to get sober from music, aren't you?"
"I know a little, but I'm not really familiar with it. Jin Zhongming did not answer the other party's conjecture, but took the violin directly and calmly. "So, if you make a fool of yourself, please don't laugh at it. ”
The artist smiled and said nothing, but took a half step back to give up his seat, and the surrounding merchants and tourists also recognized Jin Zhongming and gathered around.
"I need to use this way to sober myself up, and it seems that I still need to meditate and recuperate. Jin Zhongming secretly screamed in his heart with shame, then put on the violin and immediately pulled the strings.
